The five best Sunday games to watch in Week 14 of the 2024 NFL season

It’s high time for the Falcons to figure out who they want to be this season. Kirk Cousins didn’t throw a touchdown pass in three games despite throwing six picks; Let me remind you that this is the same guy who threw for nearly 800 yards and eight touchdowns against Tampa Bay this season. What was once a strong lead in the NFC South has now become a tight race with the Bucs, whose remaining schedule no longer looks all that threatening. Cousins ​​should show up again at some point, let’s just hope it’s not too late.

After a few weeks on the outside, the Vikings have climbed back into the top 5 of the NFL Power Rankings. They’re more vulnerable than their early winning streak initially suggested, but they’re still 10-2 after five games. They have a lot of work to do in the next five weeks: They play against the Falcons, Bears, Seahawks, Packers and Lions. Their inconsistency allows the Falcons to slip under the radar, but defenses are on guard when the real Kirk Cousins ​​emerges.
